Christina Collazo Cathey sent me a note a couple of weeks ago about some nifty sounding yoga classes she teaches through Imagine Yoga.

The first is called "Connecting to Our Roots- Imagine the Depths of the Mother/Daughter Foundation" and will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. on January 26 atYoga Synergy Spa in Garland.

Mothers and daughters doing yoga together! Is that cool or what?! Although my father (God rest his soul), non-athletic fellow that he was, could do the lotus pose, I don't think I've ever seen (or thought about) my sweet mother attempting either that or any other yoga pose. And if the yoga prowess (prowesses) of her daughters are any indication -- well, I'm guessing she might be the source of my sisters' and my un-Gumby like abilities.

In other words, thank heavens the classes are geared for much younger mother/daughter duos. Otherwise, it could be either very mirthful or very painful. Or perhaps both.

Here's what Christina wrote me about the theory behind the classes: "In guiding our own daughters, we are discovering the challenges presented with mothering a healthy young female in our society, while also finding ways to nurture ourselves.

"Young girls are facing hormonal changes, peer pressure, bullying and other radical shifts in awareness. Through Yoga, we are uncovering creative ways to nurture our daughters and lead with healthy examples. As we take care of our own physical and emotional bodies, we empower our young ladies with the wisdom necessary to meet these challenges with confidence and love."

I like the sound of that. The class, which is the first in a series of seven, costs $45 per family Signing up for all seven in advance gives you a 10 percent discount.
